I understand that this is still largely the same. Some Windoze programs like PartitionMagic claim to be able to modify Linux partitions - which they can provided you're using only the standard ext2, ext3 and swap partition types. For setups like my own (reiserfs) it still needs Linux to do it.
Actually, Zap takes out the first 128 sectors on the hard disk.

You're also behind the times. Programs like Paragon's Hard Disk Manager support things like FAT/NTFS/Ext2/3, Reiser, HPFS. Yes, it'll even image them intelligently. It also provides Ext2FS/Ext3FS support to WinNT/2000/XP/9x. No Reiser support yet though. Shouldn't be hard under NT, as it supports installable file systems.
